U.S. Map
A huge thank you to former Washington Elementary School student Ellie Siegel for bringing a fresh new map of the US to Washington School for students to enjoy! Ellie proposed the idea to Mrs. Saxon as part of her Eagle Scout project. Her vision meshed perfectly with the school's geography objective as students learn about a new state each month.
